Adding Many Existing Users into a Group in Confluence Cloud Using Postman

Will Baltazar

Hello! My subject line pretty much says it all. How do I upload a list of users from a CSV File into a Group in my Confluence Cloud using Postman?

You might have better luck using Python and just looping through the text file.

This is a very basic piece of Confluence Cloud permissions management code that I wrote in Python. I know it works to access Confluence Cloud, you'd just need to tweak the functionality a bit.
